Since we're talking about my email signature here, this characterisation
you've described is meant to be me.  I don't know what *I've* done for
you to describe me that way, but at best it's irrelevant to debian-user.
It's perjorative, and I would ask that you stop writing perjoratively
about me on this mailing list, and go and re-read the Code of Conduct
for participating in Debian.

Unicode *is* text, as far as I'm concerned. I don't see the point in
limiting what I write to a 7-bit namespace from the 1960s, even if I am
fortunate enough that my chosen names are representable in it.

in favour of graphics that are gleefully being used to highlight them.

My signature includes an emoji which is configured to be a reasonable
approximation of my appearance.
